Why Study Flip-Flops?
There are some circuits that are not quite as straight forward as the gate circuits we have discussed in earlier lessons. However, you still need to learn about circuits that can store and remember information. They're the kind of circuits that are used in computers to store program information - RAM memory.
In this lesson we'll look at the background for those kinds of memory circuits. Our goal is the following.
Given a flip-flop circuit,
Determine how the circuit will behave for a sequence of inputs.
Be able to use a flip-flop to store a single bit.
